The U.S. has imposed sanctions on over 50 entities, including three Indian nationals, in an effort to curb Iran’s energy exports, which are allegedly funding terrorism. The sanctioned individuals, Varun Pula, Soniya Shrestha, and Iyappan Raja, are linked to shipping operations transporting Iranian liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to China and Pakistan. The sanctions prohibit U.S. entities from engaging with them and aim to dismantle Iran’s covert energy network. This move reflects a significant escalation in U.S. enforcement efforts in South Asia, highlighting the broader geopolitical implications of Iran’s energy trade and the importance of regional compliance with international sanctions as part of maintaining stability in the Middle East.
